no, I'm setting it manually via `ifconfig` in init script. Notice the 
following lines in kernel log:
Dec 12 20:33:23 zirafa xen-br0: port 1(eth0) entering disabled state
Dec 12 20:34:23 zirafa xen-br0: port 1(eth0) entering learning state

Why is eth0 (the only physical device in xen-br0) getting into disabled 
state?
